It might seem like a lot to do, but, I really need help. I need you to help me figure out, the theme is developed for the story

"if" (which is below) and it will need to have specific evidence from the poem. And then can you explain how they are developed in "cant" (which is also below) And then can you summarize how the two poems and similar and/or different. Thank You! :3Can’tby Edgar Guest
Can’t is the worst word that’s written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.
It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
And robs us of courage we need through the day:
It rings in our ears like a timely sent warning
And laughs when we falter and fall by the way.
Can’t is the father of feeble endeavor,
The parent of terror and halfhearted work;
It weakens the efforts of artisans clever,
And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.
It poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
It greets honest toiling with open derision
And mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.
Can’t is a word none should speak without blushing;
To utter it should be a symbol of shame;
Ambition and courage it daily is crushing;
It blights a man’s purpose and shortens his aim.
Despise it with all of your hatred of error;
Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain;
Arm against it as a creature of terror,
And all that you dream of you someday shall gain.
Can’t is the word that is foe to ambition
An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;
Its prey is forever the man with a mission
And bows but to courage and patience and skill.
Hate it, with hatred that’s deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed ’twill break any man;
Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying
And answer this demon by saying: “I can.” End

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! End

After Juliet's body is found, Lord Capulet says these lines from act IV of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Lapatulllka [165]
 Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir; My daughter he hath wedded: I will die, And leave him all; life, living, all is Death's. How is the excerpt an example of dramatic irony? Capulet does not know that his true son-in-law is Romeo. Capulet expresses his grief by personifying death. Capulet is insulting Paris who would have been his son-in-law. Capulet does not know that Juliet is actually alive.

2 DESCRIBING How does the excerpt help you to understand
n200080 [17]

King David (before he became king) was a shepherd boy who tended to his father's sheeps and fought off wolves and other wild animals. He was small and frail looking and was not conscripted in the King Saul's army.

<h3>Who is King David?</h3>

He is the son of Jesse, a descendant of Jesus Christ and an Israelite who according to the Holy Bible was the direct replacement to King Saul whom the Lord God had departed from.

King David rose to prominence after defeating and killing the giant Goliath who had been taunting the children of Israel for many days with a slingshot and some stones.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.
